HAFODUNOS HALL. I attended an Artisan Market in your grounds but I was totally captivated by your beauty, intrigued about your past, curious about your story. I’d like to believe it’s hugely romantic and exciting but I don’t believe it is. I’d like to believe so much laughter was heard and tons of happiness was observed by your walls but I don’t believe there was. I’d like to believe fine afternoon teas were served in your conservatory and banquets were hosted in your stately dining room but I’m not sure there was. I’d like to believe there were lavish balls held were couples in fine clothing danced on your gorgeous tiled floors while waiters held trays of fine wine by your ornate pillars or served night caps by your flamboyantly tiled fireplaces in your drawing rooms but I don’t know if that was the case. All I know is that your site was occupied since at least 1530, with the remains of two previous houses untraceable. You were built by Sir George Gilbert Scott between 1861 and 1866 for Henry Robertson Sandbach who sold you in the 1930’s. Reportedly, you’ve been an all girls school and a nursing home since then - up until 1993 when you were abandoned. You suffered an arson attack in 2004. Why do such things happen to one as beautiful as you? You were bought in 2010 for a meagre £390k for restoration (circa £8m) and residence. Sadly, none of that is currently evident but I wish I could be the one to bring you back to the glory you deserve because I think I’ve fallen in love with you.

TFL!
So interesting to read your journaling and imagine along with you what this place might have been in its glory days. It looks like amazing architecture! This page is so wonderful with this many photographs so artfully arranged!
 
Love this - great series of photos and so interesting to read your journaling about this cool estate!
